Here’s Hugh Jackman filming scenes with his sweet Jesus-beard on the set of Les Miserables. If there were no cameras in front of him, he’d just be a crazy homeless guy shouting and throwing paper into the air. But since there are, he’s “acting”… like a crazy homeless guy shouting and throwing paper into the air.

I know that question is ridiculous, and it’s making me giggle uncontrollably. You know I would! It’s Hugh Jackman. Just stick him in the shower and wash the grime off him first and you’re good to go. When I first read that Hugh Jackman lost weight I was like “where” since the dude was already buff. After I saw him I realized that he lost weight the Christian Bale way, all over until he looks emaciated. Poor Hugh. I’ll make him a nice meal and take care of him.
Hugh is playing the Jean Valjean role in Le Miserables, and he’s of course in character for these shots taken on set in London. I honestly didn’t read the book, but I saw the 1998 film, with Liam Neeson, Claire Danes and Uma Thurman. I loved it and wonder why they have to make another one (update: this one is a musical, thanks for cluing me in!) Celebuzz has a good overview of Hugh’s character, along with the casting for the rest of the film. Hugh is playing the lead Liam Neeson occupied in the earlier movie:
Hugh Jackman isn?t looking so jacked on the set of Les Miserables. The Wolverine actor known for his big smile and bulging biceps was easy to miss while filming scenes for the beloved play-turned-movie.
Hugh, 43, is shooting scenes in London, England as the character of Jean Valjean, and looks to have shed some pounds and muscle for the part. Dressed in rags, Hugh also dons a poorly shaved haircut that includes scars all over his head.
In case you?re not familiar with the story, here?s a breakdown of Hugh?s character, and it may explain why he?s so thin.
In Les Mis, Jean is a poor man who has been on the run from the law for 19 years after he stole bread to feed his sister?s starving children during an economic depression in France. Jean is actively pursued his whole life (and throughout the play) by police officer Javert (Russell Crowe).
Other familiar faces to join Hugh in this classic tale include Amanda Seyfried (Cosette), Helena Bonham-Carter (Madame Thnardier), Anne Hathaway (Fantine) and Sacha Baron Cohen (Monsieur Thnardier).

The only thing that Celebuzz forgot to mention in their article above is that Russell Crowe will be playing the officer who chases Jackman’s character throughout the film, his foil Javert. Now I’m getting all excited for this movie, which isn’t out until December! Damn, well at least it’s coming this year.
I’m going to take a hint from Celebuzz and also include some shirtless photos of Jackman as contrast. It’s Tuesday Wednesday*, we deserve them. These are from last August, so it wasn’t too long ago that Hugh was big in just the right places.
*I honestly thought it was only Tuesday! WTH is wrong with me?

He?s always given his all to his roles, and Hugh Jackman looked like an authentic Jean Valjean on the set of ?Les Miserables? today (March 20).
The ?Australia? stud sported a carved-up coif, with a scraggly beard and unkempt ensemble as he filmed scenes for the film adaptation of the world famous musical.
In addition to Jackman, stars like Amanda Seyfried, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Russell Crowe are signed on to the project.
?Les Miserables? is scheduled to hit theaters on December 14th, just in time for the holiday movie season.

Adding their A-list star power to the Royal event, Hugh Jackman and Elle Macpherson attended a Buckingham Palace reception for members of the Australian community living in the UK on Thursday evening (October 13).
The "Real Steel" stud suited up in a navy blazer while the former supermodel looked divine for her face time with the evening's host in a pale Pink colored Donna Karan dress.
The elegant affair comes just days before the Queen is set to embark on an 11-day tour of Australia - a trip Macpherson is quite excited about, telling press, "It's great for us and great for her."
Sure to keep things on a lighter note, Jackman, a fellow Down Under native, explained his feelings about being invited to the grand palace, jokingly explaining, "As an Aussie it feels weird, I'm just waiting to get thrown out."

Hey, Hugh Jackman. No one wants to see your chiseled abs, sculpted chest, broad shoulders and bulging biceps. Put your shirt on. You’re embarrassing yourself. Am I right, ladies? Ladies? Oh, okay. I’ll just wait until you pick your jaws up off the floor for confirmation then.

Those of you who read us regularly know that I love Hugh Jackman. I just think he’s a genuinely nice guy and super hot to boot. My admiration of Hugh crept up on me. While I’ve had crushes on other celebrities like Matt Damon and Johnny Depp forever, Hugh earned my fangirl status from his actions and interviews. Anyway here’s another reason to love Hugh. In a new interview with Australian newspaper The Herald Sun, the 42 year-old actor opens up about how he and his wife of 15 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, struggled with infertility before deciding to adopt. They are now parents to son Oscar, 11, and daughter Ava, six. Hugh describes it as very difficult to get to the point of adopting, but ultimately rewarding. He also sees the adoption of his two children as fated. It’s touching the way he explains it.
The 42-year-old star is married to wife Deborra-Lee Furness and they have two adopted children - Oscar, 11, and Ava, six.
He spoke to Australia’s Herald Sun about the moment they discovered they weren’t able to have children naturally.
He said: ‘It was painful. It’s not easy. You put a lot of time and effort into it, so it’s emotional.
‘I think any parent can relate - trying to have children is wonderful and when you feel as though that’s not going to happen, there’s a certain anxiety that goes with it.’
He added: ‘We thought we’d have a kid or two biologically and then adopt. But when we decided we’d had enough of IVF, we went ahead with adoption.’
However the couple soon moved on with their plans to become parents.
Jackman said: ‘From the moment we started the adoption process, all the anxiety went away. I don’t think of them as adopted - they’re our children.
‘Deb and I are believers in I suppose you could call it destiny. We feel things happened the way they are meant to. Obviously, biologically wasn’t the way we were meant to have children.
‘Now, as we go through life together, sure there are challenges, but everyone’s in the right place with the right people. It sounds airy-fairy, but it’s something we feel very deeply.’
[From The Daily Mail]
That’s so nice! Hugh and Deborra have been open about this issue, and are involved in several adoption charities. I found this moving interview with Deborra from 2004, before their second child was adopted. She said she’d had two miscarriages before they decided to adopt Oscar. Back when Oscar’s mother was pregnant and Deborra and Hugh were meeting with her about adopting the baby, Deborra thinks she was given a sign that he was meant to be their son. She described how she was in an airplane and saw a lightning storm over Iowa, where his birth mother is from. Here’s that part:
“And I kept saying to Hugh when we were in discussions early on. I said I havn’t got a message yet, I?m waiting for a message. And I was on a flight from Los Angeles to Toronto where Hugh was shooting X-Men 1, I think it was, and I was sitting on this flight and I looked out the window and there was this incredible electric storm outside the window and it was so beautiful, I was just staring at it and I said to the guy sitting next to me, ?Wow, look at that, it?s amazing, where are we, and he said I think we?re somewhere over Iowa,” And I, I knew that that was the birth mother I had been speaking to and I grabbed the stewardess and I said do you know where we are and she said oh come up here and took me up to the pilot?s cabin it was before September 11, and went in there and I said where are we? And he said, see down there, there?s Cedar Rapids, and tears started to roll down my face and I knew that was my message. And I loved it, it was like it wasn?t a subtle message, it was like, it?s me already, it?s like this huge electrical storm.”
[From ABC.net.au]
I usually don’t believe in signs and messages. When people tell stories like this I find it fascinating though. I truly believe that they thought they received a sign, and that it was a sign in that way, since signs are what we make of them. (Hopefully that makes sense and doesn’t sound condescending, although it probably does.)
Hugh and Deborra sound like they’re on the exact same page when it comes to their family, and that’s very refreshing to hear, inside or outside of Hollywood.
Most of these photos are from July and August of this year, except for the one where they’re in coats, that’s from October. Credit: Fame

He?s always a sight to see, and Hugh Jackman drove the crowd crazy at the premiere of his new movie ?Real Steel? in London, England on Friday (September 16).
The ?Wolverine? stud looked dapper in a black suit and tie as he happily posed for pictures before heading inside the BT Tower for the film?s debut screening.
According to IMDB, the action/sci-fi flick involves a glimpse of the future where 2,000-pound humanoid robots do battle.
Aside from Mr Jackman, Evangeline Lilly, Kevin Durand, Anthony Mackie and Hope Davis all have lead roles in the film.

Hugh Jackman seems like an all-around nice guy. But looks can be deceiving. You may not know this but he uses his Adonis-like body for evil.
Look at him in this series of telling photos. First he jump kick his own son (top), then drags his lifeless body to shore and finally celebrates with jazz hands. What a monster!

I hope you brought a change of underpants to work today, ladies, because it’s a shirtless Hugh Jackman-palooza! It’s all the raw, rippling, unmitigated maleness you can stand. And not only is Hugh shirtless and dripping wet in these pictures — he’s also happily tending to his offspring the in the photos. It’s everything your most primal evolutionary instincts have been seeking out since the dawn of time. The trick is making sure you don’t slide right off your chair.
With his wife and kids in St. Tropez this weekend:

You know it’s going to be a good week when we’re treated on a Monday to so many photos of Hugh Jackman lounging shirtless, frolicking shirtless in the water, and attempting to apply sunscreen to his shirtless buff body. Hugh Jackman knows what we need to jump start our week and he’s delivering it for us with a smile and a wink. Hugh was in St. Tropez with his lucky wife and two kids, soaking up the sun and posing for these glorious sun-soaked photos.
A week ago Jackman hit up ComicCon to promote Real Steel, a film that’s drawing comparisons to the Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots game. No sh*t, this is the first I’ve heard of it too. The movie is based on a short story from 1956 about a boxer who joins the dangerous fast-paced world of fighting robotos (chuckle) and it’s supposedly not a Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots movie per se. It also stars Anthony Mackie and Evangeline Lilly. Real Steel is out in the US on October 7 and you can watch the trailer here. It looks totally ridiculous, and is directed by Shawn Levy. (Night at the Museum, Date Night.)
Jackman also confirmed at ComicCon that a script for Wolverine 2 is complete and that he’ll start filming in October. Last year he said he was in training for it by eating right and exercising hard, and it’s clearly paid off. The guy has maintained his incredible physique for years now. Or maybe, if he ever lets himself go a tiny bit, he waits until he’s in top shape again before taking off his shirt.
